The coronavirus pandemic means that Germans still prefer to vacation in their own country.
A popular vacation spot on the Baltic Sea is fully booked for this reason.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the choice of holiday destination has been more limited. Entry into many countries is only possible with proof of vaccination, corona tests or a quarantine lasting several days. For example, if you want to visit New Zealand * as a tourist, you will have to wait until 2022. And our neighboring country Italy only allows holidaymakers to enter the country with an appropriate entry form. The restrictions mean that many Germans still prefer to choose travel destinations in their own country.
However, Germany does not have a large selection of beaches everywhere, which is why the Baltic Sea is currently particularly popular with holidaymakers.
This is also shown by a current survey
carried out by
the
mdr
, in which the majority of the participants stated the Baltic Sea as a holiday destination.
For this reason it is currently hardly possible to find accommodation there.
The Baltic Sea islands of Usedom and Rügen are particularly overcrowded.
Vacation on the Baltic Sea: Accommodation on Usedom is fully booked
As
moin.de
reports, Usedom is already a very popular travel destination in summer.
But this year the rush of tourists is even bigger.
So big that all of the accommodations there on various holiday portals will
almost always be fully booked
in the next few weeks
.
With spontaneous bookings you would have better chances, provided you can get used to the idea of
overcrowded beaches
.
However, some vacationers are still forced to throw their Baltic Sea plans overboard.

Vacation in Germany: Other popular travel destinations for Germans
In addition to the Baltic Sea, the
North
Sea is also
a popular travel destination, but that's about it with the vacation options on the beach in Germany.
If you don't want to go to the sea, you can opt for a stay at the lake.
For example,
Lake Constance
,
Brombachsee
or
Walchensee are
also popular vacation spots.
City trips are also an alternative for many, which is why tourists always like to head for
Berlin
,
Munich
or
Hamburg
.
